When I heard that the GOP Senators crushed the deal, I thought to myself "this is good news".
It's a temporary setback for the auto industry and the millions it employs, but the Bush administration will float them with money from the 700 bn, at least until the incoming Democratic congress does a more permanent fix. So all that will be okay.
The really good news though, is that the GOP just lost another 10% of their constituents. Anyone who works at a US car factory, or a parts supplier, or auto dealer, anyone who 'buys American' or has a nostolgic passion for 57 Chevies and 64 Mustangs, anyone who recalls that Ford, GM and Jeep won two world wars for America, is going to remember what the GOP did this past week.
